I was very happy with the thorough checking of our HVAC systems.
Cameron did a wonderful job. Quick, efficient, and very pleasant.
Performed cooling tune ups on all 3 systems checking all electrical components, refrigerant balance, unit start up, operation, shutdown, cleaning of indoor and outdoor units and treatment of drains. Customer complaint of high power bills in winter. Checked systems in both heating and cooling and found system draws about 30-40% more power in the heating mode. 2006 r-22 downstairs unit is doing the most of the electrical draw in heating mode at 8.8 amps @ 70° outdoor temperature. Replacement of downstairs system could see a reduction in power consumption.
Found no low voltage. When tstat was replaced the transformer shorted because the air handler has no fuse Replaced transformer tested system from thermostat. Something was shorted out in the thermostat not allowing the heat pump to come on. Replaced it with a Honeywell T6 thermostat. Tested operation no other issues found.
Found noise happens when system shift into defrost. Goes away after a minute when refrigerant is moving in opposite direction noise also happens when shifts back. Nothing can be done as this system didn’t have quite shift option Checked capacitor while I was in the electrical compartment
Noise may have been when it was in defrost. I didn’t hear anything when the unit was running. All I did was listen so I’m not gonna charge for this.
123 Kent street Tested r22 refrigerant charge. Tested heat strip. Heat pump operation checked electrical connections and tstat. Compressor is drawing 7.2 A condenser fan is drawing .8 A Heat pump had a 25° temperature difference Heat strip had a 18° temperature difference 64/262. Suction line temp. 148°. Outdoor temperature 47° Everything seems to be running as designed. I can’t find anything wrong. Not sure what would be causing a high electric bill. Besides the ductwork being poorly designed.
Added SS to safety condensate switch. Mark BTUs on air handler door and also Mark data plate for the heat strip and marked KW‘s on the air handler door.
Mark KW‘s on the door marked data plate on air handler and wrote 1800 BTUs on air handler. Added SS2 condensate float switch. Put light fixture back on screw.

Furnish labor and materials to replace defrost board and sensor Tested heat pump from furnace. Defrost is working as well as cooling and heating.
serviced and inspected heat pump system, including electrical, safeties, controls, reversing valve and defrost cycle to manufacturer specifications. Blower motor is pulling .7 amps Heat strip is pulling 20 amps Compressor is pulling 4.2 amps Condenser fan is pulling 1.2 amps Defrost is working to manufacturer specifications Capacitor is within manufacturer specifications Heat strip temperature difference is 15 Heat pump temperature difference is 22
Was told that they had the thermostat set to 70 and it dropped to 68 at this point the heat strip should start to help back up the heat pump. Most heat pumps are designed 17° outside to maintain 67 inside. Being it was in the single digits this morning. It was below design temperature, which means it wasn’t gonna be able to keep up without the heat strips coming on. 18.5 amps on heat strips. 30° temperature difference on heat strips Heat pump 18° temperature difference. Tested operation of heat pump and stripy could not find any issues today
Replaced hot surface ignitor, . Tested boiler operation
Found gas valve not operational and hot surface ignitor nearing end of life. Recommend replacement of gas valve and hot surface ignitor to restore system operation.
Replacement and provisioning of Infinity control.
